Question

Which sentence explains the correct first step in the solution of this equation? 2(x−4)=12

Answer 1

Answer:

X=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

equation 2(x-4)=12

first divide by 2 on both sides

        $\frac{2}{2} (x-4)=\frac{12}{2}$

then the resultant equation will be as

           $(x-4)=6$

   above equation explains the first step in this solution

therfore, $x=6+4\\x=10$

The value of x is 10.
